The Abandoned Hunter Chapter 8

"Are... Are you kidding me? This time it's humans and you want me to be your proxy? Get lost you big lizard!!!"
At least that's what Jay Down wanted to say but he was aware of the gravity of his situation. He had to think carefully before uttering any word out of his mouth.
"Well... being a proxy is not bad... but why did you choose me...?"
It was obvious that Jay neither had any special skills nor any special talents.
"Grrr... human, are you doubting my choice?"
"N-No. What I mean to say is, I'm not as strong as you think. I'm probably the weakest human ever alive... so I'm the most unsuitable person to be your proxy..."
The real reason why Jay didn't want to be the proxy was because he didn't want to take any great responsibilities.
"Haha... well that will be seen after I grant you the title... till then all humans are just ants... so it doesn't matter if you are the weakest ant..."
"Eh? Ants? Sigh... I forgot with whom I was speaking..." *thinking*
"It doesn't matter whether an ant is strong or weak... in the end they are just ants and that's how he looks at us..." *thinking*
Of course he couldn't speak out loud but these were his real thoughts.
"Haha... but you aren't among them human..."
"Eh!? Not among them? What do you mean?"
"How to say it... your powers... you might have not realized yet but... you are far more stronger than the weak ants..."
"Ha!? My powers? But I don't have any powers of such quality... just a bit of fast healing capabilities and long distant vision..."
Jay was stating the truth. It was something he always has but whenever he tried to learn something new he would always fail.

"Hahahaha... it's amusing human... but what I told isn't a lie. Your powers are great, it's just that you haven't learnt how to use them... or maybe not awakened yet!"
"I'm tired of denying him... if I had the power I would have been like a hero... but what he told makes sense... I haven't learned how to use... or not awakened it yet?" *thinking*
"Then..."
"What?" (The Black Dragon)
"Can you compare my powers with any object or any thing that comes to your mind?"
Jay wanted to know that how great his so called powers were.
"..." ( The Black Dragon)
"..."
"Uh...I'm sorry I just blurted out of excitement..."
"Dragon..." (The Black Dragon)
"Eh? Yes?"
"Your powers are like a dragon... a sleeping dragon... which has disguised itself as an ant..."
"Huh...!?"
Jay wasn't able to believe what he had just heard. He wanted to jump with excitement.
"I wish I had a voice recorder here... I could have recorded a true dragon praising me!" *thinking*
"Re-really? My power is equivalent to that of a dragon?"
Jay's eyes were sparkling as he said this. After all seeing a dragon, that too a true dragon, appreciating a human's power to this level was not a daily occurrence.
"Yes, your power is that strong, but you aren't able to use even an ounce of that power!"
"..."
"Ya... I'm pathetic... even with this vast power... I'm useless..."

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Fenn Farrow longs for adventure, but sneaking away from home in the back of a tinker's wagon may not have been the best way to go about it. She awakens, disoriented and confused, in a land she's never heard of, with no recollection of how she got there. And as Fenn soon discovers, the City of Yarde, home of the Duke and his prize turnip, is on high alert. The Beast is afoot. And it's devouring everything it can get its claws on. The townsfolk are terrified. No one knows what--or who--will be next. Dreams of adventure forgotten, all Fenn wants now is to get home to the quiet forest town of Wynne. But she has got no idea where home is. And the longer she spends in Yarde, the more the gnawing fear grows that her presence and that of the frightful Beast are somehow tied together. She's not the only one that suspects. Lost and alone, with no friends to speak of and danger round lurking round every corner, can Fenn find her way before disaster strikes again? ...Or will she too wind up at the bottom of the belly of the Beast?
